FALL SPEED TRAINING IN HIGH GEAR AT CENTRAL PARK TUESDAYS 7:00 PM!

Attention Fall Members ! We are excited about our great turnout at Speed Training! YAY! We have some new GREAT track workouts to help you get faster and stronger, and we have hired Coach Bob for a few weeks to work along with Assistant Coach Veronica, and provide our members with valuable tips, help and support on the track as needed. You DO NOT want to miss it!

Winter members are welcome to join us at Central Park for regular training runs, however, we do not recommend Winter members to join the track workouts just yet, as they need to work on building up a strong base before, just as our Fall members have been doing for the last 3 months.

TRACK YOUR TIME AND IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE!!!!
